Hadn't done so for 10+ years. I needed something to do. I made baby blankets, hats and other stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-pre-baby-maternity-leave#post-1568104 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 14:39:45 +0000 Mae 1568104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd definitely try to stock up on freezer food and any non-perishable stuff that you can buy ahead. Also I would try to schedule lunch or dinner dates with everyone I could to get in some last pre-baby friend bonding. And go see a lot of movies. My DH and I have been seeing movies most weekends lately because it feels like it might be a while before we get to do that again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-pre-baby-maternity-leave#post-1568102 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 14:38:23 +0000 Dandelion 1568102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: oh yeah! I should have gotten my hair cut earlier in March. I have no idea when I'll be able to get it done now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-pre-baby-maternity-leave#post-1568100 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 14:37:28 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1568100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second hair and nails.<br /> I'd go out for a loooong lunch. Make freezer meals. Set up grocery delivery for the weeks after birth. Catch up on thank you notes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-pre-baby-maternity-leave#post-1568099 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 14:37:23 +0000 Dandelion 1568099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last minute shopping, baking, making freezer meals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-pre-baby-maternity-leave#post-1568089 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 14:34:39 +0000 mrs. wagon 1568089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I were you I'd get a manicure and pedicure and get your hair done (cut, colored, etc)! You won't really be able to go out and do those things for a while :) And go see some movies in the theater!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-pre-baby-maternity-leave#post-1568083 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 14:32:30 +0000 anandam 1568083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm looking for ideas/recommendations of things to do with the final weeks pre-baby since I stopped work unexpectedly this week on midwife's orders...</p> <p>Besides getting the house baby-ready and napping at will, what should I enjoy while I can? Anything that will become nearly impossible once baby's here? Anything at all?</p> <p>ETA: I'm 36 weeks, so a little restricted in what I can manage physically, but not on bedrest. </p>
